If it's not BS, and one of the other favorites of the board, I wonder if Dolson would demand the new coach to have either Michael Lewis or Dane Fife as one of the assistants. (to build the IU culture from within) I doubt if Fife would take the lateral move, unless he was assured the big chair after the next coach left.

Just a thought.

Dolson did say in his presser yesterday that after he has the coach in place, he didn't want to micromanage the program. I guess what that means is open to interpretation. I would hope whoever is selected -- even if it's that Celtics guy -- he'd entertain the thought of having someone on staff with IU ties. Sorta like Archie did with Mike Roberts.

Poor guy probably has a big day tomorrow. I’ve heard the St. Patrick’s day parade is huge in Boston.

Epic trolling skills sir...

Can't say it any better, if your thinking Beilien......then to me Matta is the better option if we go down that far.  Barring he is healthy now, hell he's only 53 years old and same pedigree as Beilein.

Right. If we're going to take one of the out of work coaches out rather have Matta than Beilein. If he's healthy enough he could be the coach for 15-20 years.

Maybe I should not have said "demand" but rather "suggest". No matter, probably a mute point.

Celtics lost tonight. Fire Brad! Unacceptable! 

Slight aside: Quin Snyder, unbelievable what that guy’s done with his career. Flamed out at Mizzou in a spectacular way. Had the drug problems. Rebuilt his reputation from freakin’ scratch and now he’s absolutely a Guy. That’s a reclamation story right there.

Incredible energy guys. Wow.

The sleeping giant has been awakened and brought out of its slumber?

 

If it’s not Brad, a big splashy hire can break up the apathy.  But Brad might as well be the one to reinvigorate Hoosier Nation!

I personally will not be devastated. Unless the next coach is John Doe from South Harmon Institute of Technology,, I don’t see IU “missing” again. This coaching search feels different than 4 years ago

It does. That press conference from Dolson the other day made me feel a lot more confident about the future than the one Glass held 4 years ago. Just found myself thinking...this guy has a goal and a plan for how to get there!

Lewis was on his staff at Butler

Not a Purdue jockstrap lol. You gotta be kidding me. What did I get myself into. 

Apparently you got yourself into a Purdue jock strap. Don't worry just keep working at it and you'll get out of it. Unfortunately the STD's could be permanent.

I always liked him but lost track of him over time.  I wonder if he is the best candidate for the Duke opening if they decide they have to keep it in the family now that Bilas thinks that is the best route and since Brad is unavailable.

Quinn can come to IU, I’m okay with that!

@Treesh is definitely driving this train

As long as he isn’t the guy making the boiler for the train, I am on board.

More comments from Boston fans after loss tonight: “Brad Stevens, no intensity, no emotion, no fire, cmon!” Well I mean sorry, he’s got more important things on his mind.

If you search Brad Stevens on Twitter right now there are lots of fans trashing him and some wanting him fired. Maybe his welcome is a little worn out with fans in Boston. Hard to tell by just a small sample size. 

I'm a huge Celtics fan and want this to happen!!  Bird was my hero growing up as a teenager in the late 80's, back when IU was also the kings of college basketball!!!! 

Let's get back to those glory days when Kirkwood Street is vibing!
